Penile gangrene: an unusual complication of priapism. How to avoid it?

N Khoriaty et al. Urology. 1980 Sep.

Abstract

A case of penile gangrene following priapism is reported. The 13 previously reported cases in the literature are reviewed. Avoidance of pressure dressing, local infection, and the use of urethral catheter should probably prevent this serious complication.
